Friday, November 14 – St. Augustine Amphitheatre – O.A.R. with Andy Grammer – Classic American author Thomas Wolfe famously stated “you can’t go home again,” but don’t tell that to the members of O.A.R. on their eighth studio album, THE ROCKVILLE LP, the shape-shifting rock band found that returning home triggered a journey of creative renewal and inspiration. For the first time in a while, the band found that visiting their Maryland hometown gave them a sense of peace. For years, they had been pushing themselves to reach new levels of success, searching for their place in the world. We’ve been hanging out, enjoying life, letting things go…The whole album is about a reboot.” THE ROCKVILLE LP, which was recorded in Nashville, Bethesda, Md., and Brooklyn, N.Y., features some of O.A.R.’s most diverse, intricate songs to date.

Saturday, November 15 – Colonial Quarter Stage – Justin Townes Earle with Cory Branan – Once compared to a man who wears many suits, in 32 short years Justin Townes Earle has experienced more than most, both personally and professionally. Between releasing four full-length-critically-acclaimed albums, constant touring, multiple stints in rehab, a new found sobriety, being born Steve Earle’s son, amicable and not-so-amicable break-ups with record labels, and facing the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it’s safe to say JTE has quite the story to tell. His fifth album Single Mothers serves as the perfect platform for such narrations. Doors 7:00PM | Starts 8:00PM

Sunday, November 16 – Ponte Vedra Concert Hall – The Florida Chamber Music Project presents “Delius & Schumann – “A Day for Delius” The afternoon celebration for the 130th anniversary of composer Frederick Delius’ time in St. Johns County, Fla., is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., and conclude at 6 p.m. There is no admission charge and doors will open at noon.

A small group of African-American singers who will perform the spirituals and songs of the time that greatly influenced Delius’ music will accompany Woods.
